Watts Water Reports Strong Q3 2026 Results Driven by Data Center Demand
Watts Water (WTS) reported robust third-quarter 2026 financial results, highlighted by a 19% increase in net sales to $728 million. The company's growth was primarily fueled by significant demand from the data center sector and effective price realization across various regions, particularly in APMEA where organic sales grew by 30%. Operational efficiency also improved, with adjusted operating margins rising to 20.9% due to volume leverage and productivity gains. Consequently, the company raised its full-year 2026 organic sales guidance to an 11% to 12% range. Despite strong performance, management noted potential headwinds for 2027, including higher interest rates affecting construction markets and ongoing inflationary pressures on input costs.
